On the sidelines: At Melbourne City training

There's a string of new faces at Melbourne City pre-season training – including one who was an FFA Cup rival just a few days ago. Damian Tsekenis turned out for Marconi Stallions (coached by his father Peter) in their FFA Cup clash last month, but was one of the trialists, new signings, scholarships players and youth players in Melbourne coming under the scrutiny of new coach Erick Mombaerts, technical director Alain Fiard and assistant coach Patrick Kisnorbo yesterday.
